The planned engine retrofits and upgrades will extend the vessels' operational life and improve both performance and fuel efficiency, thereby significantly reducing emissions.
The vessel is expected to achieve about 6-10% fuel and GHG emissions reductions on the Brazil to Far East routes, combined with voyage optimization technology.
In light of upgrading its fallpipe vessel fleet, DEME has taken the decision to invest in a new DP fallpipe vessel by purchasing and converting a bulk carrier.
A 10-day trial onboard a Spar Shipping AS bulk carrier enabled a reduction of at least 75% in carbon and sulphur emissions, and further confirms technical viability of GoodFuels' sustainable marine biofuel
